STATE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION:

ALL TALK AND VERY LITTLE ACTION

ONE YEAR AFTER MARIO DRAGHI RELEASED ITS REPORT, JEDI RELEASES THE ‘DRAGHI TRACKER’: ONLY A FRACTION OF RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED

MEDIA RELEASE - September 9, 2025

Berlin, Brussels, London, Paris, Tallinn, Warsaw, Zurich

As of September 2025, it has been 24 months since the Draghi report was commissioned by the EU; 12 months since the official release (9 September 2024); and 7 months since an exasperated Mario Draghi implored policymakers to ‘please DO something’.

​

In these very challenging times for Europe, JEDI is launching the 'Draghi Tracker' that will regularly measure the concrete implementation of the 20 key recommendations of the Report - or rather the lack of it currently, which is hardly acceptable given the ‘existential risk’ underlined by Draghi and the current accelerated irrelevance of Europe.

​

A Board of top European CEOs will oversee the analysis of the Tracker that will, every quarter, put factual & positive pressure on European policymakers to be much bolder & faster.

​

Currently, the Draghi Tracker (release #1 - 12 months after) estimates that only 14% of the Report is implemented, an appalling low number given the major challenges faced by Europe - and by its institutions to prove their effectiveness. Many recommendations have been neither touched nor moved beyond acknowledging their importance but without any concrete action.​

  • ​45% of Draghi recommendations - not implemented nor discussed at all

  • 25% of recommendations –discussed but not seriously moved forward

  • 15% of recommendations –in the process of being implemented or being seriously discussed, but not with the necessary boldness & sense of urgency

  • 15% of recommendations –in the process of being implemented or being seriously discussed, with the right speed and boldness

  • 0% (!) of recommendations have been fully implemented

Methodology & scoring of the top 20 recommendations are on www.draghitracker.org​

 

Quotes:

  • ‘It has been a very inefficient first year of implementation. Does Europe really want to change ?' •

  • ‘European institutions are made for stable times. They are increasingly unfit for purpose in exponential and crisis times.’
